[QUOTE="EndlessMac, post: 1064379, member: 140470"] That's pretty much what it comes down to. It will be mostly free or low-costing apps that will have ads. As it's true for a lot of things...if you don't want to see ads then you have to pay for it. I would only be mad if I paid a good price for an app and it still had ads. The app makers have the choice whether to have ads or not even the free ones but I'm assuming the free apps will use iAds so they can make some money. Class77 is concerned that the ads will hijack his iPhone but if he/she watched the keynote then they would realized that it's not much different than other ads in software and sites you go to like this forum. The difference is that iAd allows the users to be more interactive if they choose to click on the ad. Instead of the ad taking to you to their website like most ads do the ad itself allows to you interact with it without leaving your opened app. From my understanding of what Jobs said at the keynote iAd has two purposes. The first was to make a better advertising experience so that users will click on them more often. The second reason was to encourage more free and low priced apps. As mentioned if you don't like ads then pay for the higher priced apps. It might be wise for the app makers to offer a paid version and a free version with ads. You get what you pay for. ;D [/QUOTE]
